Great science
We love this science! It breaks everything down into easy to understand pieces for little kids.

Why did you choose this?
We used Focus On Chemistry for 2nd Grade and it was a thorough, but easy to implement science curriculum. After reading the reviews and samples of Focus On Biology, I expect it will be similar.
May use to teach homeschool co-op.
To complement the Focus on Biology Middle School that my older children use.
Looks like a great complete program
